Now, some lucky folks will be able to get their hands on Valve's gaming hardware – the company's put out a call for gamers to "playtest both released and unreleased versions of our games as well as play around with some of our hardware prototypes."

Unfortunately, unless you're in the Seattle/Bellevue area, you're out of luck – but Valve does suggest that remote playtests could be coming up in the future.

Whatever Valve has bubbling away, it's sure to shake up the gaming world – especially if it's competing directly with the Wii U, Sony PlayStation 4 and Xbox 720.
